Casino Guru has spent years cultivating the world’s most comprehensive database of online casinos and bonuses, which enables the company to make navigating the online casino space a safer experience for both casual and veteran players all over the globe.

The recognition of the company’s regional efforts in Central and Eastern Europe is equally significant as Casino Guru’s global mission to make the industry more transparent, accountable, and safe for its players.

Matej Novota, Head of Casino Research at Casino Guru, welcomed the award and said, "Casino Guru is honored to have won the EGR Europe Awards 2026 in the Best Central and Eastern Europe Affiliate category. The company has worked hard to establish itself as a global powerhouse in helping players make informed decisions when searching for the best online casinos and bonuses available to them, and seeing our local efforts recognized on one of the industry’s top platforms is truly humbling."

Casino Guru has gone beyond simply listing regional casino ratings, cultivating strong communities through its Online Casino Forum and Community, and bringing together multilingual communities to exchange knowledge.

Similarly, Casino Guru has focused on strengthening players' local knowledge of brands, providing thoroughly researched casino reviews and bonus information through a combination of big data, human expertise, and cutting-edge technology.

In all that Casino Guru does, the company has sought substance over pursuing arbitrary touchstones, developing a robust foundation for its operations. The Safety Index deployed by Casino Guru is arguably the world’s most comprehensive and thoroughly designed ranking system, which enables the company to inform player decisions well beyond Central and Eastern Europe.

Apart from providing regional and global audiences with information on the best casinos and bonuses, Casino Guru has also remained firmly committed to providing fair resolutions in disputes through the Online Casino Complaint Resolution Center, the industry’s most successful and popular dispute adjudication service.

Why This Matters

iGaming Times analysis: EGR's regional-awards categories are one of the more reliable peer-vetted recognition signals in the iGaming sector because the judging methodology weights commercial performance and editorial track record together. Casino Guru's CEE win is also a useful read on which non-affiliate models are performing in markets where pure-play affiliate margins have compressed faster than in Western Europe.
